Bomb Makers Blow Themselves Up

(Istanbul, Turkey) I suspect this probably happens much more regularly than is reported.

From the Turkish Daily News:

Turkish police said on Tuesday that two men killed in a blast in an Istanbul flat were Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) members in the process of making a bomb.
An additional five people were injured.

From a fundamental Islamist perspective, would a man be given martyr status and 72 virgins if he never completed the suicide mission because he blew himself up while making a bomb? Islamic scholars must surely be searching for an answer.

1 No doubt that before Turkey is allowed to join the EU they will to improve work-place safety. I wonder if the explosive manufacturer had an appropriate warning label - DO NOT HANDLE IF YOU ARE AN ASSHOLE.

2 FYI, The PKK is not an Islamist group. In fact, the group is a Socialist group that had ties to the Soviet Union. Remember, Turkey was NATO, hence the Soviets encouraged this sort of thing in times past. I once attended a May Day rally on Red Square where the PKK was promulently displayed. Since much of Kurdistan was liberated after the Gulf War, their activities have declined with two pro-American secular parties becoming the main forces in the region.

3 So sucide bombers are suppose to receive 72 virgins or a 72 year old virgin. If she is a 72 year old virgin, I think I would pass. And if you are a woman bomber, do you get 72 male virgins, aka, 72 males that can now boss you around. I think I would pass on that also.
